It seems to be open season on the beeb, the odious Charles Sale here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/columnists/columnists.html?in_article_id=562657&in_page_id=1951 wrongly says that Clive Everton has been sidelined for the big matches, even though Clive, an excellent commentator IMO, did the middle session of O'Sullivan-Williams - the tie of the 2nd round - and the opening session this morning of the Hendry-Day match - one of the ties of the quarter-finals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-70930989577649972192008-04-29T10:53:00.000+01:002008-04-29T10:53:00.000+01:00I too think its a shame but snooker stars are bein...I too think its a shame but snooker stars are being treated as second-class sportsman by the BBC.<BR/><BR/>If Formula 1 stars are going to be able to wear the amount of logos they do from next year and darts stars can already wear four logos why not the snooker players?<BR/><BR/>It is afterall a restraint of trade!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-8534253894410001582008-04-28T08:29:00.000+01:002008-04-28T08:29:00.000+01:00I check worldsnooker.com everyday during the tourn...I check worldsnooker.com everyday during the tournament.
